Kooyong Residence - IDEA 2023

Kooyong Residence

Matt Gibson Architecture + Design

This project involves the renovation of a grand Victorian villa and a separate yet connected new addition. Old and new are connected via a glass circulation bridge that extends off the existing hallway. In the rear addition, a relaxed interior and the warm external timber cladding offer a sculpted, playful aesthetic in contrast to the masculinity of the original home. A Neutra-like Palm Springs modernism dissolves the ground level façade, creating a flexible space that is open to the exterior.
